Before and After-School
All students are encouraged to participate in the 100 Mile Club. Students have a common goal of walking or running 100 miles during the school year. Students receive milestone incentives along the way to keep them motivated. Students who reach 100 miles receive a gold medal at the end-of-the-year Medal Ceremony. The 100 Mile Club is possible through a Physical Activity Grant awarded to SVVSD. Lace up your sneakers and join in the fun! Contact: Mr. Thurman thurman_bart@svvsd.org
The Columbine Green Team is an after-school group of students committed to creating a more eco-friendly school environment. Working with Boulder County Eco-Cycle, this group studies energy efficiency, recycling and composting strategies, and looks for ways to reduce our carbon footprint at Columbine!
Students from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade are invited to participate.
STEM Explorers’ unique mission is to encourage, motivate, support, and prepare students for success as they explore STEM professions through collaborative projects focused on building math, science, technology, and communication skills.
Through inquiry and project-based science and engineering design challenges, students explore and address real-world problems. Contact: Ms. Giles at giles_jennifer@svvsd.org
Student Council is open to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade leaders in our building. Our Student Council team works to develop leadership skills as students plan Kindness Week, Spirit Week, Community outreach programs, fundraising opportunities, an end-of-year talent show, and weekly school announcements. Our Student Council Leaders strive to be positive, empathetic role models in our building by leading by example and showing up for our community and school.
Theatre club is a new after-school club for all grades, K-5, to learn about acting and drama. This year we will learn how to work as a team and the basics of on-stage performance. Students will learn to act through a performance, improvise and share a story through movement, prepare and execute sets, and gather or create costumes and props.
Our VEX IQ Robotics Team is a collection of 3rd-5th Graders who work together in teams to build a robot and compete in the yearly VEX IQ Challenge.
Each year the challenge changes and students must plan and build a robot to complete the new objectives. Students take their robots to tournaments and compete in cooperative challenges with students from other schools. Both teams have one minute to work together and score as many points as possible. In addition to driving their robots, students also learn to code and program so that their robots can work autonomously.
Students on our robotics team learn teamwork, perseverance, communication, and collaboration skills. Contact Ms. DW at dikewilhelm_sherie@svvsd.org for more information or if you want to volunteer for one-time or on-going activities and events.
